Next test flight of Starship and Super Heavy will feature a second attempt to catch the booster using a pair of metal “chopstick” arms.

Starship has flown five times to date — in April and November of 2023 and March, June and October of this year. During the most recent flight, which occurred on Oct. 13, SpaceX successfully landed Super Heavy back on the launch pad, catching the giant booster with the "chopstick" arms of Starbase's launch tower.
